A new book, Cirque du Salahi: Be Careful Who You Trust, reveals that Bravo’s The Real Housewives of D.C. socialite Michaele Salahi—known as the gate crasher at a White House state dinner last year—has multiple sclerosis. Author Diane Dimond also suggests why Salahi and her husband did not publicly offer an explanation for sneaking into the presidential dinner. “On attorney’s advice, and because of their ‘iron-clad’ contracts with Bravo, the Salahis felt they could not defend themselves—not even when called before a committee of the United States Congress,” writes Dimond. Bravo, however, begs to differ. In a statement to The Daily Beast, the network said: “The notion that the Salahis have been barred under their contracts relating to The Real Housewives of D.C. from speaking about their attendance at the White House state dinner is simply not true. From the time of the incident until now, Bravo and Half Yard Productions, the producer of the series, have consistently and repeatedly stated to the Salahis and their representatives that they were free to speak to press, law enforcement, Congress and anyone else about attending the State Dinner. Indeed, they have given multiple press interviews on that very subject.”
